Part 11:

It was noon and Bonnie had quite some time to occupy herself
before they were going to try out their little plan. She decided
to go out for lunch and invited Keller with her. Galen was busy
so Keller said yes.

They went the same Chinese restaurant Bonnie had been to the
other day. Keller told Bonnie that some witch sisters and their
brother ran it.

"So you'll never know what exactly they'll put in your food
here," Keller added. They both laughed.

"Nothing to bad, I hope." They ordered the daily special and sat
down at a table to wait. Keller excused herself to go to the
bathroom and after she disappeared Bonnie heard someone walk up
behind her.

She turned instinctively and guessed that the person was a
vampire, from the way he moved. He gave a cruel grin and reached
for her arm. Bonnie jerked out of his reach.

"I want that note," he told her. "You are going to get it for
me." Bonnie sensed he was trying to use mind control on her but
it wasn't working.

"What note?" she asked.

"The one that was in your magazine," he told her.

"You stole my magazine?" Bonnie asked starting to laugh. "Hope
you liked it."

"You're going to give me that note. Or you can come with me and
tell me what it said."

"I don't think so," Bonnie told him and turned. She had all her
psychic senses on him and knew when he started to grab her by the
shoulders.

Bonnie got up from the chair and turned. She swung her fist at
him. He was still getting over the shock that the chair was
empty, so he wasn't paying attention and Bonnie broke his nose.

The man yelped and one hand sprang to his face. After he
determined it was broken he grabbed at Bonnie again. She wasn't
able to move out of the way fast enough and in seconds she had
been thrown over his shoulder.

Over course the one factor the man had forgotten about appeared
in front of him and slugged him in the stomach. He hunched over
slightly and made a face.

"Put her down," Keller demanded.

"No," he snarled. He started to make a run for it knowing that
if he stayed to fight he would most likely lose Bonnie in the
process. Keller half-shifted and swiped at him with wicked
claws. He howled as several large gashes appeared in his side.

He dropped Bonnie as the wounds began to heal. He launched
himself at Keller. She sidestepped him. He ran into some chairs
and tripped. He started for Keller again but was interrupter.

"You leave and get out of here before I shot you," Harry, the
storeowner, said calmly. "These are wood tipped bullets and I
have great aim." The man knew he was out numbered and left.

"Thanks," Bonnie said to both her saviors.

"What did he want?" Keller demanded.

"Some note Raven gave me. He must have been on the same plane as
me and saw it fall out of a magazine. He already stole the
magazine. And I didn't even finish taking the quizzes." Keller
had to laugh at that.

Their food came and they ate while Harry's wife, Julie moped up
the blood. Bonnie told her the food was great as they paid. Then
they went back to Thierry's mansion.
